SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Human Society’s Project Wildlife team assisted with the rescue of an Osprey whose left leg and claw were wrapped in a fishing line, tethering her to a nest in Ocean Beach Monday.
The Osprey tried to free herself to feed her three nestlings but could not fly away from the nest. The bird’s partner was spotted nearby overseeing the nest and continued to bring food to the tree nestlings. Dr. Enyart is the Project Wildlife’s Senior Director. He examined the Osprey, cut all the lines off the bird’s foot, and gave her an injection for hydration. SDHS said she suffered minor scrapes and swelling from being caught in the fishing line and was released within minutes.
